text: SEEKING FREELANCER. Philadelphia. Local only.<p>We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web &amp; mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.<p>Pair programming, continuous integration &amp; delivery, kaizen, and TDD&#x2F;BDD aren&#x27;t just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.<p>We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).<p>As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team. We often find ourselves fielding development inquiries from excellent clients working outside our preferred stacks and expertise or we occasionally don’t have enough staff to fill out a team with employees. In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.<p>Skills we are currently looking for:<p><pre><code>  • Ruby &amp; Rails
  • Elixir &amp; Phoenix
  • Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Lambda
  • Python
  • React, Angular
  • React Native
  • .NET
  • iOS, Android
</code></pre>

text: Remote (CONUS and related TZs)<p>eCommerce company seeks Devops expertise to help stabilize an older production environment based in AWS.<p>Skills sought:<p>- automation expertise (Puppet, Chef, Ansible, whatever - we&#x27;re agnostic so long as it works).<p>- CI&#x2F;CD expertise - we&#x27;re currently using a mix of &#x27;git pull&#x27; and Capistrano, we&#x27;d like to modernize a bit.<p>- monitoring&#x2F;metrics - our current Nagios system is noisy and long in the tooth.  We&#x27;d love to upgrade to &#x27;something different&#x27; that isn&#x27;t waking us up on a regular basis for nothing.<p>- Rails expertise - our platform runs on Rails.  We suspect having some modicum of expertise in that area would be helpful for our purposes.<p>- containers&#x2F;kubernetes?  We&#x27;re curious if our business would be a fit for a straight-up kubernetes migration.  Bonus points if you can help us figure that out and perhaps implement!<p>Please email Jack (jahodges419 - at - gmail.com) with why you think you&#x27;d be a good fit.  TIA!

I get by but would rather work with someone who excels at design.<p>I&#x27;ve been working within my network for a while but am now working on gaining new leads. The flow of work, at least initially, would be patchy and inconsistent.<p>Is this something you already do for others? Do you have a portfolio I could take a look at?

text: Chicago, US | Remote<p>Looking for someone to help create technical documentation for our product. The product uses a combination of GUI and code snippets in a DSL, so the documentation will have to span from the low-level concepts up through the high-level design patterns. The audience is more sophisticated than a random internet user, but less sophisticated than a software engineer. Familiarity with functional programming would be a plus, but no specific programming language is required to make this work.<p>hn [at] inc-query.com
